Delicious and easy to make soda bread scones, which are perfect when served alongside soups, stews or an Irish or Scottish breakfast. These can be whipped up in a trice and make a nice alternative to bread.........they are also delectable when eaten hot, split and spread with fresh butter. Ingredients:
275 g wholemeal flour |
275 g plain white flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
400 -500 ml buttermilk (14 to 18 flluid ozs) |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/450F.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the smaller quantity of buttermilk, 400ml or 14 fluid ozs.
3. Mix by hand, adding more buttermilk if necessary, until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
4. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead lightly - just enough to shape the dough into a round. Flatten it to about 2.5cm/1in thick and cut out 8-10 scones, using a 7.5cm/3in plain cutter.
5. Put on to a floured baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes, until well risen and golden. Leave to cool slightly on a wire rack.
6. Serve with soup, stews or traditional breakfasts.
